Big Clod, Tiny 🎈 @wallhackio@cat.family

@cam you're bringing me back to my "watching street vendors make chai masala" phase

@aescling @Satsuma @vaporeon_ @Lady figure it out and help me.

@cam @Kirito at first i thought this was an overwatch toot for some reason lmao

@aescling @Satsuma @vaporeon_ @Lady thats fine

@vaporeon_ @aescling @Lady damn i need to report website boy for this

@Satsuma @aescling @Lady @vaporeon_ fine, ill do it my fucking self

@aescling @vaporeon_ @Lady add it to the frontend.

@aescling @vaporeon_ @Lady I know we can do it technically, I specifically am asking you to add it to our frontend.

@vaporeon_ yeah i reported @aescling and @Lady daily for it but they still haven't fixed it

@cam holy shit once i noticed the eggy crust i pogged irl

@vaporeon_ shit

Apparently I need to post about JavaScript more so I can salvage my legacy

@aescling @vaporeon_ reported.

@vaporeon_ even more specifically, I had to write C++ as an undergrad in college for my physics research and when reading something that the creator of the language (Rene Brun) wrote, they mentioned you could iterate over some data using a construct like the following:

for (TList&& thing: listOfThings) { /* use the thing /* }

and then Brun was like "if you're not familiar with the double ampersand syntax, its a relatively new language feature called an rvalue reference" and I was like "the fuck is an rvalue reference"

So then I started reading and then eventually got to this web page: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/value_category.html

and my poor undergraduate mind was just like o______________________________________o so I gave up on it.

But it lingered in my mind for years later as a Thing That I Could Not Understand. It ate away at me. I tried again later in grad school, only to go o______________________________________o again. Maybe this was simply beyond me.

Flash forward a couple more years and now I'm a software engineer. Then they made me do C++ for work. I'm like, "I'm more familiar with software these days maybe finally I'll undestand it" so I researched it again only to go o____________________________________o once again.

But no, this cannot be! I WILL do it!! I WILL FIND OUT!!!! So i kept at it for months afterwards and he we are.

@vaporeon_ I would much rather my legacy involve Beautiful javascript instead of Nightmare c++

@vaporeon_ I write C++ unwillingly in the pursuit of Understanding because I WILL fuck around and I WILL find out

@cam doesn't stop me and i turned out.... well perhaps you shouldn't do it actually

@vaporeon_ mentioning LLM is bad enough, but then you said i'd write C++ code. fucking reported.

@vaporeon_ @onfy ⚠️ GET REPORTED WITH THE FURY OF ONE THOUSAND SUNS. ⚠️

@onfy i write code that looks like i know how to write code except the code does not work 25% of the time
